Orienteering training 30:00 [3] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 11

CUOC training at Homerton.
Hanging + Two short courses. Generally pretty easy, 1 mistake where I thought I was at 9 not 8 and went round the wrong building. Knee twisting a bit through the rougher grass, but keeping the distance low so it should be fine.

Tuesday Oct 30, 2018 #

Cycling 56:31 [3] 24.23 km (25.7 kph) +33m

Oakington and Cottenham. Windy on the way back but decent cycle path so not too bad as a route.

Monday Oct 29, 2018 #

Strength and Conditioning 1:00:00 [3]

CUHH session at the sports centre.
Monday mornings are back!! Decent session, knee feeling very stiff on lunges but otherwise good.

Sunday Oct 28, 2018 #

Orienteering training 50:35 [3] 7.72 km (6:33 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X Talon

WAOC event at High Ash.
Blue- pretty decent navigation wise, one bad route choice where I got stuck in some waist high bracken. Could feel the knee but actually still okay at the end.

Orienteering training 40:38 [3] 5.74 km (7:05 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X Talon

Control collecting. Generally good except one control where I got the wrong ride, fortunately not on the actual course. Probably a bit too much distance for the knee, stiffened up afterwards.

Saturday Oct 27, 2018 #

Cycling 1:10:15 [3] 28.67 km (24.5 kph) +57m

Toft, Great Eversden, Haslingfield.
Horrible weather but actually not too bad when you got out in it, last time it’ll still be light at 5:30 for a while.

CUOC circuits

Thursday Oct 25, 2018 #

Swimming 1:00:00 [3] 2.2 km (27:16 / km)

CuTric endurance session.
200m, 100m and a few 50m reps. Felt good when at the front of the lane, really able to push the pace. Probably not leaving big enough gaps between us because there was definitely a drafting effect.

Note

Saw the physio today, apparently it’s just tightness in the back of the knee and hamstring causing knee pain, so lots of stretching and rolling should ease it off a bit and then it’s just a case of building running volume back up slowly.

Hanging and collecting

Orienteering training 15:48 [3] 3.24 km (4:53 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 11

Sprint course in Trumpington.
Generally felt like I picked decent routes, one mistake where I went in the wrong alleyway because I’d miscounted on the map. Could feel my knee by the end but not too bad.

Sunday Oct 21, 2018 #

Cycling 1:03:55 [3] 26.13 km (24.5 kph) +83m

Out via Barton road to Caldecote and back in along Madingley Road. Legs felt tired pretty quickly but kept the pace reasonable, nice to get out for a decent ride. Need to find some longer routes though.

Thursday Oct 18, 2018 #

Wednesday Oct 10, 2018 #

Strength and Conditioning 1:00:00 [3]

shoes: Inov8 X Talon

Kentmere Horseshoe with Mum, Dad and John
So much fun, not going super fast but nice views through the occasional gaps in the clouds. Right knee started twinging about 10km in and gradually got worse towards the end, particularly on uphill and downhill sections, so a few days off running coming up.

1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1 [1:00 jog]
Felt decent, very windy on the way out up the cricket pitch though so times a bit inconsistent. Probably could have pushed a bit more on the longer ones, but felt like a decent effort level.

Running 47:53 [3] 9.39 km (5:06 / km) +18m 5:03 / km

Granchester via Rugby fields and back through the meadows. Felt exhausted all day but then inexplicably felt good running this. Motivation for core was low though so will do it on Wednesday instead.
